Not recommended for professional grading. The cost of grading (CGC/CBCS) exceeds the current market value of the comic. It is best kept in a bag and board for personal collection.
Notable Features

Authentication Notes
The comic appears to be an authentic 1995 Marvel Direct Edition. The cover gloss and 'Deluxe' paper stock (introduced in the mid-90s) are consistent with legitimate copies of this era.
